The most recent series of silly questions on the Joburg Facebook page concerns residents of Johannesburg. Here are the top (and funniest!) comments posted by South Africans on social media so far!

Joburger says this is the one everyone’s been waiting for. In a series of silly questions, Joburger prompted South Africans to ask what they’ve always wanted to know, this time with the spotlight on people living in Johannesburg.

Joburger previously gave way for SA to ask Capetonians what they’ve always wanted to know on the popular Facebook page.

See the questions SA had for Joburgers:

In the top comments, PW Seemane said: “Why do you think you have made it in life by just being in joburg? I mean even the homeless joburgers think they are better than the homeless elsewhere.”

Jesse David asked: “Why do durbanites who move to Joburg all of a sudden come back speaking like they grew up in Sandton…. You’ve only been there for a month.”

In a series of questions, Zandré Cloete-Smith asked: “Did you guys know that:
1) Your car DOES have indicators.
2) There are other cars besides VW Golf and BMWs.
3) You must stop at a Stop sign, Red traffic light, give right to way to the right at a circle.
4) It is not necessary to drive with your bonnet in my boot.
5) You don’t have to lie down while driving/ should be able to see above the steering wheel…”

Segololo Motaung asked: “About time, been waiting for this one….. what the hell are you always in a rush for eintlik, Joburgers????”

Xabiso Spudaldinho Mdledle asked a question referring to the picture below: “Why is everyone eating this like its pizza / Pringles? Is it economical (broke) / nutrition (hunger)?”

Bongani Dlamini asked: “What do you guys do with all the sea water you take with your five litre containers….building a beach there maybe??”

Pam Naidoo asked: “Why do you all come to Durban and act like you own it and secondly you know you coming to Durban for eg, why you guys don’t wear sunscreen every time go to pharmacy there is one person from jhb sun burnt.”

Some observations:

Melanie Holloway: “Not a question but an observation. I’m a born and bred Capetonian, living in JHB for almost 4 years. JHB isn’t fast, JHB is consistent in a sense of urgency. Lifestyle is phenomenal. Yes we pay a bit more for milk and cheese, but having been back to Cape Town recently, my observation is: JHB has insane work ethic, service is phenomenal compared to Cape Town, people are friendlier and there’s no ‘cliques’ that is all.”

Moeketsi Keke Nhlapo: “I have no questions. Simply the best city/province all round. If we had a border and a beach – Joburg alone would be a country.”

Deshni Govender: “For all those asking stupid questions about why Joburgers are always in a rush..
1. Time is Money
2. We keep the economy of SA going.
3. There is a reason why it’s called the JSE – Johannesburg Stock Exchange (not Durban or Cape Town stock exchange)
4. Can we honestly rely on Durban – where nothing happens or Cape Town – where things happen at a glacial pace? No.
5. Nobody wants to spend all that money on a german car to drive it at 80km/ph on a highway. Like really.”
